I am going to be buying tires soon for the '81. It currently has the wheels from Crusty Biscuit installed. I do, however, have another set of wheels I can use. Here is my dilemma, stock look, or aftermarket look? I like both. Cost of tires is about the same. I have stock 16.5 rims, and Firestone still makes a highway tread 16.5 tire, and I am okay with highway tread for a street truck. I also have some chrome wagon wheel 16's that opens up more tire options. I like the Outlaws on the '81, but they will never be on there long term. Part of me wants to go stock, but clean, prep and paint the original rims so they look better.

Truck with clapped out Kumho 9.5-16.5 tires.

I don't have any photos of the truck with the chrome wagon wheels

Honestly Sir, I hate 16.5’s and chrome wagon wheels…

If hard pressed to do tires now I would run the chrome 16’s and keep an eye out for a better set of wheels to swap the tires onto later.

I have always like the way 2WD 3/4 tons look with the stock wheels so that would my vote.

But ...

White wagon wheels would be a good circa look, too. :Big Laugh:
